    Does USB card shares USB ports of the mobo power?

    Upgrade CPU, buy new case or install better CPU fan?

    For the past 2 days, I've been smelling something burning from my computer but I didn't realize it was my CPU getting freaking hot until the computer crashed today. When, I read the CPU temperature from BIOS, the temp turned out to be a whopping 91C. FYI, I have 805D Pentium D 3GHz and a cheapo...
